Overview
- River inflows fell beginning on Monday, allowing floodwaters to recede by Monday evening and enabling authorities to restore 17 submerged road links in Polavaram district.
- Official tallies show about 77 villages were affected, roughly 34,000 people impacted, at least 1,073 houses submerged and nearly 750 families moved to relief camps during the peak flooding.
- On Tuesday the Andhra Pradesh government began distributing combined two months’ rations to more than 11,900 flood-affected families through the Public Distribution System and special relief channels.
- Health and sanitation teams expanded response with 71 medical camps, drinking-water testing, tank cleaning and deployment of anti-venom and emergency medicines to reduce the risk of water-borne and vector-borne disease.
- Flood management continues at monitoring points such as the Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage where the first warning was withdrawn after inflow fell below key thresholds, but controlled releases into the Godavari delta and waterlogged islet villages mean recovery work and targeted boat deliveries remain necessary.
